I quit grocery shopping.
I mean I quit grocery shopping one time a week…
I’m going to shop three times a week! Before you judge me up and down and sideways, let me explain…
When I was going the beginning of every week, I not only didn’t have any room in my fridge, but a lot of my fresh produce would go bad come the end of the week; even my poor potatoes. This time, I’m going to do 3 mini trips, staying within budget and make these trips fun and enjoyable each time I go.
My first trip will be in the beginning of the week and my main grocery store trip, but only buying for 3 days out. Mid week, I’m going to bring my cute recyclable bags from Trader Joe’s, put on my cutest summer dress, and pick fresh produce from farmers markets and road side stands to supplement us for the next few days more. The last trip is to cover the weekend. What a great time to shop just for the weekend! Plan out an exciting end of the week, invite friends and family and have a bbq or plan a beach trip! Everything will be fresh, you’ll be prepared and loving feeding your family and friends.
I am a mom of eight. Grocery shopping could be a chore I dread. But why not change our perspective? Why not wake-up every morning and profess a beautiful and amazing day–one God has blessed? Let’s show our children how wonderful life can be. Show them how to enjoy every second of life making memories in the everyday.
Let’s take back our motherhood!
Moms everywhere loving their shopping days and with their children. Little trips might just be our answer… will you join me?
*****My errand runner journals are hitting my store soon. Several prints to choose from and all with my original artwork. Follow me on YouTube. You will not want to miss this launch of beautiful books and a HUGE surprise giveaway that you’re not going to want to miss.******
Blessings to you!
This makes so much sense! Hiw much food gets wasted because it spoils before yiu get to eat it?! I may have to explore your madness m'lady! 😉
Can't wait!! I am saving for a Chic Sparrow to use as an errand runner. Your books are gorgeous!!
Love this
I love that idea I think I'm going to follow your lead.
This makes HUGE sense!!!
I do totally do this already, but mostly because I'm not organized enough to do any other way! I love it!
This is very awesome!! xoxo
Love this. I can't wait!!!!
I've never been a once-a-week shopper. Between a tiny fridge and a damp climate, my produce never stays fresh. I used to hate midweek shopping, but now I realise it's much less stressful for me to do it more often. I hate grocery shopping, especially when it's busy, so if I have a shorter shopping list I'm in and out much faster. I'm looking forward to hearing how it's working out for you 🙂
excellent perspective! I always think it's such an accomplishment when I don't have to head back to the store for more stuff that I forgot. I actually love grocery shopping though… just not in the summer with all 6 in tow. lol
I’ve been going grocery shopping 3 or more times a week for years! It works out wonderful, I always have fresh produce and my refrigerator is rarely overcrowded. I plan out my meals in advance but only buy what I need a day or two in advance to keep everything fresh.
I absolutely LOVE ALL of your books! I ordered my Chic Sparrow Planner Perfect Errand Runner and my Errand Runner set. Both orders arrived today! So beautiful! I immediately signed back in and purchased the Devotional Journal set AND another Errand Runner set (the red floral). I’m so excited! I’ve always been one to keep track of everything like bills and notes and lists but now I’m equipped to do it much better (and prettier lol). I’ll definately be much more organized. I purchased my first travelers notebook on Etsy for my bills (wide) and was hooked. I then purchased my first Chic Sparrow which is now my spiritual journal/notebook and now my 2nd chic Sparrow purchase (Planner Perfect Errand Runner) will be my new wallet! Thank you so very much for all you do and for partnering with Chic Sparrow! Your products are not only beautiful but of high quality. Thank you for your many wonderful tips as well. May The Lord continue to bless you as you bless others.
In Him,
Tracy Cipriano
